WTF Wednesday - Dogs on Surf Boards Join Facebook Status Chains

1) Last week women on Facebook started another one of those supposed
"raise breast cancer awareness" status chains which end up just
confusing men. This one had me saying "I'm 14 weeks and craving
Skittles." Instantly people started asking me if I was pregnant. This
has angered some people (including a blogger who posted a rant about it because she says that "pretending you're pregnant isn't cute"). What do you think of status chains like this? Ah-ha! I saw this and couldn't believe my soon-to-be-divorced friend was pregnant; the status said nothing about raising breast cancer awareness. Now, suddenly, it all makes sense! It seems kind of stupid to me if you don't specify comments like that one.

2)
Do you think people should be able to buy music and share it with
everyone he or she wants or should everyone have to purchase the songs
themselves? I've spent enough on CDs that I have no problem getting music for free now. Or at least very inexpensive music - usually $0.07 to $0.15 a song.

3) How often do you (or your significant other) vacuum your house? Never. The cleaning ladies use it every other week, however.

4) Monday was National Cheese Pizza Day. What toppings do you like on your pizza? I love Hawaiian pizza!

5) The Thought Catalog has posted a list of great songs to cry to. What is a song that can easily bring you to tears? The latest one is Darling, I Do by Landon Pigg and Lucy Schwartz, from Shrek, the Final Movie. It is a wonderful song and I think of Luis every time I hear it.

6) Beanie babies were a big craze in the 1990s. What is a toy that you collect or used to collect? Smurfs! Can you imagine? I have a whole army of them.

7)
Buddy, a 14-year-old Jack Russell Terrier, will be the first animal
inducted into the Surf Dog Hall of Fame. Do you enjoy seeing animals do
crazy stunts? Not usually. I can't imagine it.

8) September is Fall Hat Month. Do you like to wear hats? If so, what type of hats are your favorites? Not usually this either. I like a select few, those few that look good on me. I have a top hat right now.

About Me

As of 19 May 2015, I'm a 47-year-old woman married for 25 years, living the children-free life I always wanted, and a charmed life. I was the Human Resources Manager for Baltusrol Golf Club built in 1895 in Springfield, N.J.. When I was not at my paid job I was a volunteer Emergency Medical Technician with the Parsippany Rockaway Neck First Aid Squad in Parsippany/Lake Hiawatha. Now I am an Auxiliary Member with the squad and involved in the committees and Executive Board. I'm currently retired.

I love to read, write, communicate with people, blog, lay in my hammock, spend time with Luis, and study various sciences. I'm a fantasy artist, as well. I love warm autumn days the best (although this summer really has been quite lovely). I love seeing the planets and stars at night. Give me science anytime! The reason for blogging and Facebook? LEARNING! I always learn something new.

Being on disability is not easy, but I can honestly say it would be a hell of a lot harder if the Internet as it is (and constantly grows) wasn't around. At least I can stay connected with the world in some fashion.
